Carol Cunningham Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Allentown Funeral & Cremations Services, LLC on May 9, 2025.
Carol A. Cunningham, 73, of Catasauqua, PA, passed away peacefully at her home on April 17th, 2025. She was the daughter of the late Joseph and Helen Reichl. A graduate of Kutztown University in 1973, Carol was an elementary school teacher at Northampton Area School District for over 30 years and finished her career as a principal following completion of her master's degree with principal certification from Cabrini University in 2013. She was also a dedicated member of the Catasauqua School Board for 20 years serving as both vice president and president during her tenure.
Carol was an active member of her church, singing in the choir, participating in the Holy Trinity Morning Glories and Church Council, and supporting community outreach efforts. She spent many years singing, dancing, and acting in the Catasauqua Area Showcase Theatre, and was also a member of Pennsylvania's Camerata Singers. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends above all else. Carol will be remembered for her infectious laugh and smile, and her ability to light up any room she entered.
She is survived by her husband, Howard Cunningham; son Gregory Cunningham; daughter Abby Cunningham, granddaughter Josephine Moyer; sisters Judy Zaborowski and Diane Carfara; along with many nieces and one nephew.
A celebration of Carol's life will be held on Saturday, May 17th, at Holy Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 604 4th St, Catasauqua, PA, 18032. A calling hour will be held from 9-10 a.m., with a service to follow in the church.

Carol was a wonderful person. I will remember her with her great smile. I know Carol from our days at Chris House at Kutztown U. We also taught at Northampton so kept in touch at school events and in-service days. Carol and her friends sang at our wedding 46 years ago instead of the church choir. She had the voice of an angel!
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

Many years ago as members of the Holy Trinity choir Carol and I loved singing duets. By chance, the day I learned she had passed was Good Friday, and tears came to my eyes. She and I would always sing "Pie Jesu" as the last song on Holy Thursday. I´ll always think of Carol smiling, laughing and singing. My heart is with you all as Carol´s life is celebrated.

My dear sister, words cannot express the heartfelt pain we all feel at your passing. There are so many great memories of you and moments with you that we will all carry with us forever. I love you very much and we will be together again some day! Until then, may God hold you in the palm of his hand!
